Help! I'm going on holiday to the US in the next fortnight. You know that green form visitors have to fill in, it might actually be called the green form? Well, someone e-mailed me this morning to ask if I'd done it online as it is now compulsory! Is that true? I asked Mr Govangirl, my fountain of all knowledge, who travels regularly and he said he completed it earlier this year and it has covered every trip this year for him but that to his knowledge, it is not compulsory although he will try and find out. I am, as always, extremely reluctant to prove my dearest other half wrong but need to know this asap.

they still have them on the plane, big thing to remember is to have a pen with you. I traveled betwixt the US and the UK 3 weeks ago and only 3 people on the plane had a pen to fill out the damned form.

You'll find this boring Bobbie but we're going back to Washington. The kids really fancied it after we had been there last year and it was very difficult to find anywhere in the USA they hadn't been on holiday too over the last 12 years! I know they haven't been to Texas but that didn't appeal to them for some reason so my friend and I fancy that for October. We're in Washington the first week, Virginia the second.
